Additionally, Facebook and Elections Canada are teaming up to give Canadians across the country the chance to share that they've voted in the Election. The "I'm A Voter" button will appear in the Facebook News Feed of Canadians age 18+, giving them the option to either share that they are voting with their friends and family, or click through to the Elections Canada website for more information.

Proudly tell your friends and family that you voted by clicking on "I'm A Voter" on Monday, Oct. 19.
